My thoughts while working out one day...

What does it mean to push yourself physically?  Why do people choose to push themselves? Its hard!  It makes you sweat, stink, and it often times hurts! Why do we choose to push ourselves to the point of pain and even making ourselves sick? Why? 

There is something about setting goals and achieving them that is inspiring and healthy, but why be disciplined? Why go beyond your own wants and desires, personally, physically, and spiritually? 

Why not challenge yourself for something else besides your own personal goals?  Why not go beyond ourselves to fight injustice?  Why not seek out justice for the poor, orphaned, and widowed?  

Setting goals, to work ourselves/our bodies to have discipline, its more than for you or me, its for them! Its to inspire, to love, to serve!  We care and so we risk challenging our bodies and minds for them!
